673: Body-Mind Trauma with Dr. Aoife O'Donovan
Is it the chicken or the egg? Did your chemical imbalance lead to weight gain, or did weight changes trigger a hormonal shift? Did depression cause neurotransmitter imbalances, or did the imbalance spark depression—or both? This week, we speak with a psychiatrist who specializes in the...

671: How to Love Someone with Mental Illness with Dr. Michelle D. Sherman
Have you ever struggled to support a close friend or family member dealing with a mental health condition? How do you know when you're truly helping rather than enabling? When should you push, simply show up, or even step away? If these questions resonate with you, you're not alone—at least 20%…

-
668: Endurance Lessons from an Anthropologist with Dr. Michael Crawley
In endurance sports, certain countries consistently dominate the podium. While many theories attempt to explain this, the most overlooked—and perhaps the most relevant—is culture. The influence of your social group and peers plays a huge role in shaping your choices and potential, yet we often...

667: Longevity & Your Face with Dr. Cory S. Goldberg
Aging is deeply personal—there's no right or wrong way to do it. Some people embrace every new anti-aging intervention, while others prefer to let nature take its course.

-
666: The Future of Medicine with Dr. Abraham M. Nussbaum
We're navigating a paradox in health and wellness. Developed nations are sicker than ever, yet healthcare systems have reached remarkable levels of advancement. At the same time, access to care, health insurance, and patient agency seem to be at an all-time low. How can we take control of our...

665: Strong Joints After 50 with Will Harlow
By middle age, most people have at least one joint that causes them problems—maybe a knee, hip, their lower back, or shoulder. How should you handle it? Painkillers? Physical therapy? Surgery? These are tough decisions, especially to face alone. This week on Age Less, Live More, you'll meet a...
-
664: Your Healthiest Brain with Dr. Sui H. Wong
When we think about improving our health, our brain is often overlooked, but it shouldn't be. Neurodegenerative illnesses are among the leading causes of death globally. Even more pressing, a sick, inflamed, or imbalanced brain can immediately diminish your quality of life. This week, we're…

663: Introduction to Metabolomics with Oliver Fiehn
When you hear the word "metabolism," you might think of calories or basal metabolic rate—the energy your body needs to survive. But metabolism is much more than that. It's a complex network of processes influenced by your diet, lifestyle, sleep, exercise, and stress, impacting nearly every part…

-
659: Finding Mental Health in 2025 with Dr. Shahrzad Jalali

658: Will HRT give you cancer? with Dr. Erika Schwartz
In 2002, the Women's Health Initiative study on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) sent shockwaves through the medical world, halting a major study due to a reported 26% increase in breast cancer risk. The statistic sounded terrifying, but what it really meant was just eight additional cases per...
-
657: Surf Therapy with Natalie Small
We're living in a time where mental health is at an all-time low, and while awareness of the mental health crisis has never been higher, the question of what to do about it remains a mystery for many. One-on-one talk therapy is incredible, but it's not always accessible, affordable, or the right...

656: A New Approach to Pain with Olivia Sinaiko and Vanessa Blackstone

-
655: Healthy Sleep for the Whole Family with Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown
When it comes to health and wellness, it's easy to focus on diet, exercise, and even supplements, but sleep often takes a back seat. Since sleep is essential and happens every day, it might make more sense to start with sleep rather than end there. Understanding its role as a powerful leverage...

653: Staying Active Life in Midlife & Beyond with Kevin R. Stone, MD

652: Leadership at Work with Robert Glazer

651: Managing Heart Health with Dr. Matthew J. Budoff
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally. While we know the importance of exercise, weight management, and blood pressure control, what role do scans and testing play? Can coronary calcium (CAC) scores help detect risks before it's too late? And if arterial plaque is found, are...
-
650: The Power of CBT and Hypnotherapy with Daniel Fryer
If you break your arm, your next steps are clear. The doctor will put it in a cast for a couple months, and then afterwards, you'll nurse it back to strength and all will be fine. If your brain is broken - perhaps from a sudden loss, job change, or financial challenge - the path forward is often...

649: Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis with Garth McLean

648: The Power of Hypnosis with Dr. David Spiegel
If you're going through a mental health crisis—whether it's depression, anxiety, stress, or overwhelm—the default advice you'll likely hear is to see a therapist. That's great advice, but in reality, even for those fortunate enough to have access to therapy, it usually means two to four sessions...
-
647: Rethinking Retirement with Campbell Gerrish and Caroline Brecker
Imagine having a meaningful, rewarding career that spanned 20 or 30 years, or perhaps several different careers over 30 or 40 years, each contributing to a wealth of diverse experiences and hard-earned wisdom. Now, you're retired, so what do you do with all those experiences? How do you answer…

646: Hypopressive Training - Deep Core Strength with Trista Zinn
When most people think about a strong core, we usually picture six-pack muscles. While that's part of the story, there's much more to it.

-
645: How to Become Panic Proof with Dr. Nicole Cain
Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm are issues many of us face daily. But the real challenge is knowing what to do when you're wired but exhausted, when worries keep you from being productive, and worst of all, when you can't fully be present in your own life. Raising awareness about mental health is…
more -
644: Get to Know Your Body with Gil Hedley
Pop quiz: how many bones in your body can you name? How many muscles? Do you know the difference between tendons, ligaments, and fascia? We are all walking around with a supercomputer between our ears, and our bodies themselves are a biological miracle - and yet we hardly pay them any mind. How...
-
643: Mindfulness for Busy People with Willem Kuyken
What if you were more present in your life—at work, at home, with the people and projects that mean the most to you? What if you spent less time ruminating about the past and worrying about the future? Wouldn't that be nice? I think mindfulness is at its peak popularity right now because most of…

642: The Health Benefits of Muscle with Dan van den Hoek

641: Understanding Fiber and Gut Health with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz
Fiber is often overlooked in discussions about diet, weight loss, and immunity, but it shouldn't be. Fiber is essential for digestive health, improving gut motility, and regulating bowel movements. It's also key for weight management, as high-fiber foods are more filling. Research shows that…

640: Understanding Chronic Pain with Dr. David Clarke
Chronic pain affects hundreds of millions worldwide, with conditions like gastrointestinal issues, back pain, and migraine topping the list. In many cases, psychological factors play a significant role in causing or worsening pain. Despite overwhelming evidence, the mind-body connection is often...

639: Weight Loss Bankruptcy with Lucas Rockwood
The iconic brand Tupperware filed for bankruptcy this week, burdened with over $1.2 billion of debt. They've reached a point of no return, where digging out is virtually impossible. In many ways, this mirrors the struggle of those facing severe obesity—a situation where years of weight gain have...
-
638: Brain Talk with Dr. Jesse Rissman
Neuroscience might be the final frontier when it comes to the human body. There is still so much to be discovered and understood about memory, attention, and how we learn. My guest on this week's podcast runs a research lab at UCLA that uses brain imaging and electrical stimulation to see if...

-
636: Understanding Sleep with Dr. Ketema Paul
Sleep is as vital for life as food, water, and breathing, but knowing its importance doesn't necessarily provide you with the tools to improve it. What if you toss and turn and can't sleep until late? What if you wake up five times a night to pee? What if you work night shifts and suffer from...
-
635: Understanding the Gut Microbiome with Dr. Gregor Reid
Inside your gastrointestinal tract there are trillions of microbes, about 3 lbs in total, and in terms of absolute numbers, you have more microbial cells than human cells. This collection of bacteria, viruses, and fungi are collectively referred to as your gut microbiome, and at this juncture of...
-
634: How to Become Hyperefficient with Dr. Mithu Storoni
The way we work has changed more in the past four years than it has in the past 20. An estimated 43 percent of Americans are now working at least partially from home, artificial intelligence is making most people at least marginally more productive, and we're all connected all of the time. This...
-
633: How to Thrive in Menopause with Dr. Liz Lyster

632: Regenerative Medicine for Your Joints with Professor Paul Lee
The joint pain market is fraught with wild claims, fringe treatments, and scary interventions. At the same time, whether you've got hip, knee, or back pain, there are some truly remarkable mainstream and alternative options you'll want to consider. But you need to take agency over the process as...
-
631: Mental Health in Later Life with Dr. Helen Lavretsky

630: Reversing Insulin Resistance with Dr. Morgan Nolte
In middle age and beyond, your metabolism changes. It's easier to gain weight - particularly around your midsection - and it's very hard to lose it. The same foods that kept you lean when young suddenly cause imbalance. Why? What changed? Aging creates a cascade of changes, but insulin resistance...
-
629: Living with IBS & Crohn's Disease with Dane Johnson

627: Learning to Grieve with Christina Rasmussen
If you're lucky enough to live a long life, you'll inevitably be challenged by loss - the loss of family, friends, potentially even your spouse. Despite the obvious inevitability of loss, most people avoid even talking about it, much less preparing for the death of those we love. On this week's...
-
626: Anxious Attachment with Jessica Baum
Much of how we interact with the world comes from early experiences from our childhood, with our family, and in our community. Attachment styles are psychological models for understanding the ways in which we tend to bond to others, particularly our spouses. This week's guest reveals how...

625: High Performance Life with Derin McMains
The world of professional athletes and the concept of your body being your business, with its performance directly linked to your paycheck is completely outside of anything most of us have experienced. For most of us, we wake up to a to-do list of tasks, and it's unclear if we're winning or…
